Careers and Higher Education

In conjunction with tutors, the staff of the Careers Department prepare Oakhamians for life after school by running courses for specific year groups, organising suitable events and encouraging in our pupils independence of thought and action. Although the majority of pupils from the school apply to a university, no young person should feel they are on a ‘conveyor belt’, and the processes of discernment and decision-making are nurtured in many different contexts of school life. Relevant information concerning careers provision can be found in these pages, as well as the parent portal. The school is a member of the Independent Schools Careers Organisation (ISCO).

The Department is located on the ground floor of the main Smallbone Library which also houses an extensive Careers section; this may be consulted most easily on Saturday afternoons during term time, or at other times when not being used for lessons. Those who wish to make use of the careers resources in the library, or are uncertain who to contact, should contact the Administrator in the first instance.
